Consequently, and to close this bug, I'm replacing the paragraph with:

For the more adventurous there is an easy way to compile your own custom
kernel on &debian;. Install the <systemitem
role="package">kernel-package</systemitem> tool and read the documentation in
<filename>/usr/share/doc/kernel-package</filename>. Alternatively,
you can also the kernel sources, provided in the <systemitem
role="package">linux-source-2.6</systemitem> package. You can make use of the
<literal>dep-dpkg</literal> target available in the sources' makefile for
building a binary package. There are some differences in these two
approaches, please consult the respective package's documentation.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
IMHO the Release Notes document is not the place for any more detailed
information, the differences between these two approaches should be
documented in the respective packages.
Agreed?
